Exact Forecast Questions
Why does my trial balance import make the balance sheet not balance?
The usual causes are debit and credit sign direction, equity sign convention, retained earnings treatment, unmapped
accounts, or importing a trial balance for a different starting month. Start with the opening BS, then inspect the
Checks tab before paid Excel output.

How do I know debit and credit were reversed in a trial balance forecast?
Look for assets, cash, or receivables showing as negative while liabilities or equity move in the opposite direction.
If many normal debit accounts appear negative at import, the debit and credit columns may have been reversed.

Why does retained earnings create an opening balance sheet mismatch?
Retained earnings can be duplicated, reversed, or mixed with current-period profit. Separate opening retained earnings
from forecast profit movement, then confirm whether dividends or prior-period adjustments are included.

How do accounts payable payment terms affect a cash flow forecast?
Accounts payable terms shift cash outflow away from the purchase or expense month. Profit can look stable while cash
drops later, especially when supplier payments, payroll, tax, or debt service overlap.

Why can tax payment month create low cash even when profit is positive?
Tax expense and tax payment often happen in different periods. Cash can fall when corporate tax, VAT, sales tax, or
estimated tax is paid after the profit has already been recognized.

unbalanced journal.
